From the name, though we understand it per processor with respect to Oracle this is different to multi-core processors. Today, every server is running on multi-core processors. Let us see that. Hope the numbers that are projected are scattered to get a clear picture of total costs incurred in the database.
Let us take a scenario and calculate the licensing costs. Requirement — Calculate license for Oracle database EE with Diagnostic pack, Partitioning and tuning pack including support on Intel quad-core processor for unlimited users.

Oracle is providing only executable files Oracle Database , is my understanding correct, its our duty to set up hardware configuration supported to the executable. Consider i have a web application where i cant predict number of users getting connected. This web application in the backend connected to oracle server.
How to calculate licencing cost? Am completly new to oracle. Does a bussiness less than users required oracle EE?
Cant i have oracle standard edition? Do i need Diagnostic,Tuning,Partitioning options? Calculating license cost is as shown in the blog. But for small business with less than users, EE will be very costly. Diagnostic license is again a bit costly affair.

The main difference of the two is that, under processor metric, there is no limit as to the number of users that can access the programs, whereas, under the Named User Plus, you are limited to a number of users that your license allows.
When your company is constantly expanding, where the number of users can increase significantly anytime, the Processor metric seems to be a wiser choice. This license would then be application specific and cannot be used for anything else.
